Adjustment Due to Distribution contract clause examples

Adjustment. If at any time the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased as the result of any stock dividend, stock split, subdivision or reclassification of shares, the number of Stock Units with which each Director’s Stock Unit Account is credited will be increased in the same proportion as the outstanding number of shares of Common Stock is increased. If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased as the result of any combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares, the number of Stock Units with which each Director’s Stock Unit Account is credited will be decreased in the same proportion as the outstanding number of shares of Common Stock is decreased. In the event the Corporation is consolidated with or merged into any other corporation and holders of shares of Common Stock receive shares of the capital stock of the resulting or surviving corporation, there shall be credited to each Director’s Stock Unit Account, in lieu of the extant Stock Units, new Stock Units in an amount equal to the product of the number of shares of capital stock exchanged for one share of the Corporation’s common stock upon such consolidation or merger, and the number of Stock Units with which such account then is credited. If, in such a consolidation or merger, holders of shares of Common Stock receive any consideration other than shares of the capital stock of the resulting or surviving corporation or its parent corporation, the Plan Committee will determine any appropriate change in Directors’ Stock Unit Accounts. In the event of a recapitalization or other corporate transaction affecting the Common Stock, the Plan Committee will determine an appropriate change in Directors’ Stock Unit Accounts.

Dividends. As of the date any dividend is paid to holders of shares of Common Stock, each Director’s Stock Unit Account, regardless of whether the Director is then a Director, will be credited with additional Stock Units equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that could have been purchased with the amount which would have been paid as dividends on that number of shares of Common Stock (including fractions of a share to three decimals) equal to the number of Stock Units attributed to such Director’s Stock Account as of the record date applicable to such dividend. The number of additional Stock Units to be credited will be calculated to three decimals by dividing the amount which would have been paid as dividends by the closing price of the Corporation’s common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange as of the date the dividend would have been paid. In the case of dividends paid in property other than cash, the amount of the dividend shall be deemed to be the fair market value of the property at the time of the payment of the dividend, as determined in good faith by the Plan Committee.

Additional credits shall be made to the Director’s Share Unit Account in dollar amounts equal to the cash dividends (or the fair market value of dividends paid in property other than Shares) that the Director would have received had he or she been the owner on each record date of a number of Shares equal to the number of Share Units in his or her Share Unit Account on such date. In the case of a dividend on the Shares or a common stock split, additional credits will be made to a Director’s Share Unit Account of a number of Share Units equal to the number of full Shares that the Director would have received had he or she been the owner on each record date of a number of Shares equal to the number of Share Units in his or her Share Unit Account on such date. Any cash dividends (or dividends paid in property other than Shares) shall be converted into Share Units at the next payment date as set forth in subsection # above. In the event of a stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, reorganization, redesignation, or other change in the Company’s capitalization, the number of Share Units in the Director’s Share Unit Account shall be proportionately adjusted or substituted to reflect such change.
